admission tickets to the World's Fair. Of
these 5,000,000 will bo lithographed, and of
such elaborate workmmshlp that counter
feiting them will bo next to impossible.
Theso aro designed to meet tho orders for

000 will bo simply printed after Uio style of

will not all bo alike, and a different style
will bo used each day. They will be good
only on tho day on which they aro eoUI, and
will not bo ofl'ered to the public in advance of
that day. Thus danger of counterfeiting
them will bo avoided. Thousands of com

After tho adjournment the police wore

For the benefit of the uninitiated it may
be stated that the slate selected was ono con
summated about ten minutes before the old
Council met to wind up its business. It was
made to break a slate made at a late hour
Sunday evening by a combination of Citizens
and Democrats. After repeated efforts the
Citizens' and independent members of
Council failed to "get together." Jive, mem
bers of the Citizens' party Alessrs. Lamb,
James. Gable, VanDusen and Stout con
cluded to deal with three Democrats Alessrs.
Betteridge Gafiigan and Dougherty. That
deal was consummated, whereby James was
to have been chairman of Council ; T. F.
I Bradlgan treasurer, R. II. Alorgan secretary,
Edward Williams, Supervisor, and Jacob
- Davis, James Tempest, David Rennie, James
Dougherty and Alartin Casey were to be
policemen.
This slate was considered a certainty by a
large majority up to the holding of the
Counell oleotlon.

THE ORGANIZATION.
V Vfw llrlid 1'olutH for Serious Itelleeliou
by tho CHIeim' Party.
Tho CitUns' party received a severe blow
last night and none but tho members of the
party aro responsible for it. The trouble
originally started through disappointment of
Federal otllco seekers nearly four years ag
and it has been kindled and re-kindled by
them ovor slnco. No opportunity hag beea
missed by tho disappointed ono to embarras
and knock down tho members of tho party
who defeated them in tho struggle for ap
pointments under tho old presidency. The
result of this vitidiotivciiess Is shown by the
condition of tho Citizens' party to day.
Last year tho Citizens' party had eight
votos in tho Borough Council Messrs. Jamos,
Gablo, Lamb, VanDusen, Stout, Holman,
Hopkins and Amour ; and tho party also had
control of tho School Board by a vto of 8 to
There was no posslblo reason why tho
Council should not havo been organized as a
Citizens' body last year, but tho water ques
tion had so wrapped up cortain members of
tho party that they becamo suspicious of nil
but themselves and decided to not trust or
deal with any but themselves.
In consequence of this narrow-gauged
sentiment the first fivo above mentioned mem
bers of tho Citizens' party got together aud
decided to take iu threo Democratic members
and glvo Holman, Hopkins, Amour and their
friends tho "freeze out," and upon that basis
all business in connection with tho borough
allalrs wero conducted tho past year.
And it must also bo understood aud re
membered that it was this narrow-gauged
sentiment that led to the nomination and
olection of Alessrs. Stout and Gablo to
Council, the latter being re-elected, and at
both those elections tho Citizens' candidates
for School Board wero defeated and tho
control of that board was turued over to
Democratic hands.
rheso aro facts established by tho public
records of tho past year aud no ono can
honestly controvert them.
The spring election of 1693 arrived and the
samo old warfare was renewed as soon as
John F. Finnoy declared himself a candi
date for Council in tho Second ward, but it
failed in effect and Finney became an In
dependent member of Council.
Tho usual dickerings and bickerings for a
ro-organization of Couucil followed. Fivo of
tho old Citizens' members showed au in.
clinatiou to abandon their narrow-gauged
policy and deal with Finney and Scho fly,
the Independents, for a re-organization, but
tho negotiations fell through. Air. Holman
would also havo been ou hand had a recon
ciliation been effected.
Tho five referred to, Alessrs. Stout, Lamb,
Gable, James and Van Duseu, professed to bo
anxious to do anything for tho sake of har
mony, but they technically held ontoa claim
to the chairmanship of Council and nothing
could induce them to relinquish it. The
chairmanship was to them something that
could not be relinquished aud it kept the
pirties dividod.
The fivo Citizens' finally concluded to fol
low the plan of last year. They made over
tures to aud secured tho co-operation of thrca
Democratic members Alossrs. Betteridge,
Gaffigan aud Dougherty. Gafiigan was
secured because Gablo nominated him aud
worked for his election to Council in the
Fourth ward. Betteridge was with tho five
last year and only needed an invitation.
Dougherty was chosen beeauso it was under
stood his sentiments on tho water qnestioa
wero identical with those of the five. The
eight got together Sunday night aud made a
slate, whereby tho other seven members,
Scheilly and Fiuuey, tho Independents, in
cluded, were left in the cold.
As self preservation is tho first law of
nature, the seven frozen out were obliged to
do something. Yesterday afternoon they got
togethor and consulted grievances. Tho
consultation lasted several hours, but before
the hour fixed for the organization of Council
expired they agreed upon a plan of operations
and pulled three members of the Sunday
combination Alossrs. Betteridge, Gaffigan.
and Dougherty over with them. The rest
is told by the report of tho proceedings
attending the organization.
Now the question arises, "What shall wo
do to bo saved?" The Citizens' party can
do but ono thing. Brace up! Stop crying
over spilled milk, drop foolish ideas, cast oil
that awful, tired feoliug of suspicion, look to
the interests of the party's people and by
getting together wipe out old scores, and try
once more to make a united struggle to re
gain the great losses of the past three years.
Let the sensible men of the party bury the
hatchet and induce others to do likewise.
All Is not lost yet, but if something as sug
gested is not done very soon it will be.
